Wedding Party

Will Zhang

Man of Honor

By the time of the wedding, I would have known Alex and Nina for 9 whole years! We have been each other's classmates, friends, roommates, coach, travel companion, advisor, disaster-response-team (ask me about the flood), coworker... we've been through it all. This September, I can't wait to put on another hat, to witness their new beginning as the man of honor. It brings me so much joy to see my two closest friends joining hands. I can't wait to support and witness your next 9 years ahead!

Bridesmaid

Hi from the little sister of the bride! Nina has always been my biggest role model and built in lifelong best friend. Years ago, when I met Alex for the first time, I remember asking him to give me a piggyback ride - sweet right? I promptly swung my legs around and kicked him in the balls, and he spent the next couple of minutes on the floor while our mom got him some water. Somehow, I didn't manage to scare him away, and even though we have the same birthday, I'm happy to share it with someone that loves my sister as much as I do. Love you and congrats Nina and Alex!!

Alec Gretta

Groomsman

Howdy! I'm Alec (no relation), former college roommate of Alex and current long-distance friend and groomsman. Our friendship kicked off over a game of Dominion, which just goes to show that card-based competition can really bring people together. I’m into games of all kinds (whether they’re on a table or a screen) and a big fan of hiking and seeing nature. I’m very excited to celebrate with Alex, Nina, and everyone else!

Groomswoman

你好 (NiHao!) I'm Gloria, a former co-worker of Alex's. Fortunately/unfortunately, we got put on the same project at work and frequently traveled cross-country away from family and friends. Alex and I quickly became close friends over the long drives, late dinners, and red-eye flights. We also bonded over how much we love (and critique) food (duck for him and sushi for me). In every conversation, Alex was always mentioning Nina, showcasing his love for her no matter where he is or what he's doing. Through Alex, I ended up gaining a new friend in Nina. Even though I've only known Alex and Nina for a short few years, I see their happiness and love for each other. Can't wait to celebrate this exciting day with them ♥
